Ideas in Action:

Working With Ideas That Have Impact

Both public sector organizations and smaller private firms turn to 8020Info for advice, ideas and information. Our practice is focused predominantly on clients in the municipal, health care, university, social service, cultural and economic development sectors, but also covers knowledge-based enterprises, media, tourism and small business.

We undertake assignments in three main areas of expertise:

Facilitation of group strategic planning

Opinion research and public consultation projects

Counsel on marketing communications strategy

Not all problems are equal: 80% of your success comes from 20% of your effort. To get where you want to go, you need focus and action. We offer counsel on the best ideas and practices, translating theory into action to address the key issues you may face.

We are not consultants in the traditional sense. You can expect us to collaborate rather than simply advise project teams, boards and managers. Typically, our clients play the decisive role in their strategic choices, but draw on our expertise, facilitation services or information on best practices.

We welcome your interest and your enquiries if we might be of assistance to your organization in some way. E-mail us at:
